EEPROM adapter for Tandy Model 102 system rom

With REX main rom support.

Use this version also for late-model 100's that don't have the non-standard main rom pinout. (If you have a Model 100, and the main rm is NOT a LH535618, then use this instead of FlexROM_100)

Use this version also for NEC PC-8201/PC8201A

Updated Version

Now programmable without SOIC28 test clip.

BOM: https://www.digikey.com/short/zv51fz

You will also need a dip-28 0.6" socket to install on the mainboard https://www.digikey.com/short/zdb570

Directions all the same as FlexROM_100, except in addition you have to desolder the system rom from the mainboard and install a DIP28-0.6" socket in it's place.

I HIGHLY suggest using ChipQuick or FastChip desoldring alloy to desolder the original rom chip to avoid damaging the mainboard. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015RV4NBS
